The Soudan War.
[Reuter’s Telegrams.] FRESH COMPLICATIONS AND SPREAD OF THE REBELLION. Cairo, April 29, Emboldened by the dissatisfaction of the garrison at Berber and the countenance which he is now receiving from the Nubian rebel tribes, Osman Digueh, the representative of the Mahdi in the Eastern Soudan, is rapidly collecting supplies and men, and threatens that he will advance upon Assouan, a border town in Egypt proper near the first cataract on the Nile. In view of the recent refusal of the British Government to despatch an expedition into the Soudan, the threats of the Arab chiefs are causing great uneasiness here.
